Subordination and superordination preserving properties for multivalent functions in the open unit disk associated with the Dziok-Srivastava operator are derived Sandwich-type theorems for these multivalent functions are also obtained
1 Introduction
Let : {z ∈ :|z| < 1} be the open unit disk in the complex plane, and letH : H denote the class of analytic functions defined in For n ∈ : {1, 2, } and a ∈ , let
Ha, n consist of functions f ∈ H of the form fz a an z n an1z n1 · · · Let f and F
be members ofH The function f is said to be subordinate to F, or F is said to be superordinate
to f, if there exists a function w analytic in , with |wz| ≤ |z| and such that fz Fwz.
In such a case, we write f ≺ F or fz ≺ Fz If the function F is univalent in , then f ≺ F if and only if f0 F0 and f ⊂ F cf 1,2 Let ϕ :
2 → , and let h be univalent in The subordination ϕpz, zpz ≺ hz is called a first-order differential subordination.
It is of interest to determine conditions under which p ≺ q arises for a prescribed univalent function q The theory of differential subordination in is a generalization of a differential inequality in, and this theory of differential subordination was initiated by the works of Miller, Mocanu, and Reade in 1981 Recently, Miller and Mocanu3 investigated the dual
Trang 2problem of differential superordination The monograph by Miller and Mocanu 1 gives a good introduction to the theory of differential subordination, while the book by Bulboac˘a 4 investigates both subordination and superordination Related results on superordination can
be found in5 23
By using the theory of differential subordination, various subordination preserving properties for certain integral operators were obtained by Bulboac˘a24, Miller et al 25, and Owa and Srivastava26 The corresponding superordination properties and sandwich-type results were also investigated, for example, in4 In the present paper, we investigate subordination and superordination preserving properties of functions defined through the
use of the Dziok-Srivastava linear operator Hp,q,sα1 see 1.9 and 1.10, and also obtain corresponding sandwich-type theorems

2 Definitions and Lemmas
Recall that a domain D ⊂ is convex if the line segment joining any two points in D lies entirely in D, while the domain is starlike with respect to a point w0∈ D if the line segment joining any point in D to w0 lies inside D An analytic function f is convex or starlike if
f is, respectively, convex or starlike with respect to 0 For f ∈ A : A1, analytically, these functions are described by the conditions Re1 zfz/fz > 0 or Rezfz/fz >
0, respectively More generally, for 0 ≤ α < 1, the classes of convex functions of order α and starlike functions of order α are, respectively, defined by Re1 zfz/fz > α or
Rezfz/fz > α A function f is close-to-convex if there is a convex function g not
necessarily normalized such that Refz/gz > 0 Close-to-convex functions are known
to be univalent
The following definitions and lemmas will also be required in our present investiga-tion
Trang 4Definition 2.1see 1, page 16 Let ϕ :
2 → , and let h be univalent in If p is analytic in
and satisfies the differential subordination
ϕ
p z, zpz≺ hz, 2.1
then p is called a solution of differential subordination 2.1 A univalent function q is called
a dominant of the solutions of differential subordination 2.1, or more simply a dominant, if
p ≺ q for all p satisfying 2.1 A dominant q that satisfies q ≺ q for all dominants q of 2.1 is said to be the best dominant of2.1
Definition 2.2see 3, Definition 1, pages 816-817 Let ϕ :
2 → , and let h be analytic in If p and ϕpz, zpz are univalent in and satisfy the differential superordination
h z ≺ ϕp z, zpz, 2.2
then p is called a solution of differential superordination 2.2 An analytic function q is
called a subordinant of the solutions of differential superordination 2.2, or more simply
a subordinant, if q ≺ p for all p satisfying 2.2 A univalent subordinant q that satisfies q ≺ q for all subordinants q of2.2 is said to be the best subordinant of 2.2
Definition 2.3see 1, Definition 2.2b, page 21 Denote by Q the class of functions f that are analytic and injective on \ Ef, where
E
f
ζ ∈ ∂ : lim
z → ζ f z ∞ , 2.3
and are such that fζ / 0 for ζ ∈ ∂ \ Ef.
Lemma 2.4 cf 1, Theorem 2.3i, page 35 Suppose that the function H :
2 → satisfies the condition
Re His, t ≤ 0, 2.4
for all real s and t ≤ −n1 s2/2, where n is a positive integer If the function pz 1 pn z n · · ·
is analytic in and
Re H
p z, zpz> 0 z ∈ , 2.5
then Re p z > 0 in
One of the points of importance ofLemma 2.4was its use in showing that every convex function is starlike of order 1/2see e.g., 38, Theorem 2.6a, page 57 In this paper, we take
an opportunity to use the technique in the proof ofTheorem 3.1
Trang 5Lemma 2.5 see 39, Theorem 1, page 300 Let β, γ ∈ with β / 0, and let h ∈ H with
h 0 c If Reβhz γ > 0 for z ∈ , then the solution of the differential equation
q z zqz
βq z γ hz z ∈ 2.6
with q 0 c is analytic in and satisfies Reβqz γ > 0 z ∈ .
Lemma 2.6 see 1, Lemma 2.2d, page 24 Let p ∈ Q with p0 a, and let qz aanz n· · ·
be analytic in with q z /≡ a and n ≥ 1 If q is not subordinate to p, then there exists points z0
r0e iθ ∈ and ζ0∈ ∂ \ Ep, for which q r0 ⊂ p ,
q z0 pζ0, z0qz0 mζ0pζ0 m ≥ n. 2.7
A function Lz, t defined on × 0, ∞ is a subordination chain or L¨owner chain if
L ·, t is analytic and univalent in for all t ∈ 0, ∞, Lz, · is continuously differentiable on
0, ∞ for all z ∈ , and Lz, s ≺ Lz, t for 0 ≤ s < t.
Lemma 2.7 see 3, Theorem 7, page 822 Let q ∈ Ha, 1, ϕ :
2 → , and set h z ≡
ϕ qz, zqz If Lz, t ϕqz, tzqz is a subordination chain and p ∈ Ha, 1 ∩ Q, then
h z ≺ ϕp z, zpz 2.8
implies that
q z ≺ pz. 2.9
Furthermore, if ϕ qz, zpz hz has a univalent solution q ∈ Q, then q is the best subordinant.

3 Main Results
We first prove the following subordination theorem involving the operator Hp,q,sα1 defined
by1.10
Theorem 3.1 Let f, g ∈ A p For α1> 0, 0 ≤ λ < p, let

Then the subordination condition

implies that
H p,q,sα1fz
z p ≺H p,q,sα1gz
Moreover, the function H p,q,sα1gz/z p is the best dominant.
Proof Let us define the functions F and G, respectively, by
F z : H p,q,sα1fz
z p , G z : H p,q,sα1gz
z p 3.6
We first show that if the function q is defined by
q z : 1 zGz
Gz , 3.7
then
Re qz > 0 z ∈ . 3.8

We also note from3.2 that
Re

and, by usingLemma 2.5, we conclude that differential equation 3.10 has a solution q ∈ H with q0 h0 1 Let us put
H u, v u v

Re

q z, zqz> 0 z ∈ . 3.13
In order to useLemma 2.4, we now proceed to show that Re His, t ≤ 0 for all real s and t ≤ −1 s2/2 Indeed, from 3.12,
Re His, t Re

For δ given by3.3, we can prove easily that the expression Eδs given by 3.15 is positive or equal to zero Hence, from3.14, we see that Re His, t ≤ 0 for all real s and
t ≤ −1 s2/2 Thus, by usingLemma 2.4, we conclude that Re qz > 0 for all z ∈ That is,
Trang 8G defined by3.6 is convex in Next, we prove that subordination condition 3.4 implies that
F z ≺ Gz 3.16
for the functions F and G defined by3.6 Without loss of generality, we also can assume that
G is analytic and univalent on and Gζ / 0 for |ζ| 1 For this purpose, we consider the function Lz, t given by
L z, t : Gz
p − λ1 t
pα1 zGz z ∈ ; 0 ≤ t < ∞. 3.17
Note that
∂L z, t
∂z z0 G0

This shows that the function
L z, t a1tz · · · 3.19
satisfies the condition a1t / 0 for all t ∈ 0, ∞ Furthermore,
Re

Therefore, by virtue ofLemma 2.8, Lz, t is a subordination chain We observe from
the definition of a subordination chain that
L ζ, t / ∈ L , 0 ϕ ζ ∈ ∂ ; 0 ≤ t < ∞. 3.21
Now suppose that F is not subordinate to G; then, byLemma 2.6, there exist points z0 ∈
and ζ0∈ ∂ such that
F z0 Gζ0, z0F z0 1 tζ0Gζ0 0 ≤ t < ∞. 3.22

by virtue of subordination condition 3.4 This contradicts the above observation that
L ζ0, t / ∈ ϕ Therefore, subordination condition 3.4 must imply the subordination given
by3.16 Considering Fz Gz, we see that the function G is the best dominant This
evidently completes the proof ofTheorem 3.1
We next prove a dual result to Theorem 3.1, in the sense that subordinations are replaced by superordinations
Theorem 3.2 Let f, g ∈ A p For α1> 0, 0 ≤ λ < p, let
ϕ z : p − λ

p − λ
p
H p,q,sα1 1fz
p
H p,q,sα1fz
is univalent in and H p,q,sα1fz/z p ∈ H1, 1 ∩ Q Then the superordination
ϕ z ≺ p − λ
p
H p,q,sα1 1fz
p
H p,q,sα1fz
z p 3.27
implies that
H p,q,sα1gz
z p ≺ H p,q,sα1fz
Moreover, the function H λ,q,sα1gz/z p is the best subordinant.
Trang 10Proof The first part of the proof is similar to that ofTheorem 3.1and so we will use the same notation as in the proof ofTheorem 3.1
Now let us define the functions F and G, respectively, by3.6 We first note that if the
function q is defined by3.7, then 3.9 becomes
ϕ z Gz p − λ
pα1 zGz. 3.29 After a simple calculation,3.29 yields the relationship
1zϕz
ϕz qz zqz
q z pα1/
p − λ 3.30
Then by using the same method as in the proof ofTheorem 3.1, we can prove that Re qz > 0 for all z ∈ That is, G defined by 3.6 is convex univalent in Next, we prove that the subordination condition3.27 implies that
G z ≺ Fz 3.31
for the functions F and G defined by3.6 Now considering the function Lz, t defined by
L z, t : Gz
p − λt
pα1
zGz z ∈ ; 0 ≤ t < ∞, 3.32
we can prove easily that Lz, t is a subordination chain as in the proof of Theorem 3.1 Therefore according toLemma 2.7, we conclude that superordination condition3.27 must imply the superordination given by 3.31 Furthermore, since the differential equation
3.29 has the univalent solution G, it is the best subordinant of the given differential
superordination This completes the proof ofTheorem 3.2
Combining Theorems3.1and3.2, we obtain the following sandwich-type theorem
